International career

Faisal has gained attention for his ability to spin the ball sharply and vary his deliveries. He mainly plays as a bowler, but he is known for his all-around skills in Pakistan's domestic and international cricket scene.

Faisal's cricket journey started early. In February 2024, The Cricketer praised him at just 16, calling him a player to watch. Four years earlier, Faisal joined a weeklong camp at the Tareen Cricket Academy in Lodhran. This camp, which attracted young cricketers from the region, became an important part of his development.
